The 3rd edition of The Penguin History of the World by J.M. Roberts was first published in 1992 (hardcover) and widely released as a revised Penguin paperback on January 5, 1995. 
This edition is a significant one-volume survey that covers human civilization from prehistory through the early 1990s, including then-recent events like the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the U.S.S.R.
Traces human development from early hominids and the first civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt) through the Classical age, the Middle Ages, and the expansion of Europe, ending with the 20th-century global economy.
It is often cited as a "stupendous achievement" (A.J.P. Taylor) for its ability to condense vast historical trends into a single, readable narrative.
